Compute the centroidal radius of gyration


Solve the below problem:

Q: A connecting rod is supported by a knife edge at point A; the period of its small oscillations is observed to be 0.895 s. The rod is then inverted and supported by a knife edge at point B and the period of its small oscillations is observed to be 0.805 s. Knowing that ra + rb = 10.5in., determine

(a) The location of the mass center G,

(b) The centroidal radius of gyration k.
